Empowerment, empathy, compassion, and trust are the pillars upon which I build a safe healing space for clients to overcome obstacles. Along with a secure therapeutic relationship, I use interventions proven effective such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
​
I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. When working with couples, I channel these skills towards building a platform to increase relationship intimacy through healthy communication, conflict resolution, building love maps, and making life dreams come true.
​
For several years I have worked with individuals, couples, groups, and families from diverse backgrounds, propelling all towards their full potential. Ethically, I use only evidence based practices supported by groundbreaking research, which provide clients with interventions demonstrated to work best for their unique struggles.
​
I look forward to providing an engaging, educational, and life altering experience in all sessions, increasing mental strength, and providing a smoother ride ahead in life.

We are going through an ever evolving time in our lives that requires sensitivity to ourselves, others, and the world we live in. These times can also bring up feelings of struggle, isolation/loneliness, uncertainty, and even despair. However, this does not have to be your end point. I will assist in guiding you to be empowered and reach a sense of healing through my empathetic, insightful, and supportive therapeutic approach. My goal is to facilitate your growth in your personal journey with non-judgement and unconditional support. I will walk with you and help you to develop into the best you, you can be.
​
I work with each client individually to meet their presented needs. My experience varies from working with LGBTQ+, severe and persistent mental illness, anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, relationship issues, and trauma. My approach varies based on your concerns and we will work together to develop a personalized plan to reach your identified goals.
Asking for help is not easy, but we all need it sometimes. My goal is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with you based on trust and help to understand your strengths so that you can take what we work on in therapy, outside of the therapy room and implement it into your daily life.
While each client is different, I often incorporate a cognitive behavioral and person centered approach. This will allow us to examine the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while keeping our collaborative alliance at the core.
I have worked with clients from ages 7-70 from various ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. I have helped individuals work through their struggles with self-esteem, anger, depression, anxiety, body image/food issues, family stress, relationship issues, and more. I look forward to working with you, assisting you in learning more about yourself, and helping you to develop positive coping skills for life.

Life gets messy, there is no doubt about that. I strive to create a casual and comfortable environment in my sessions where the underlying principle is that all individuals possess the qualities necessary to flourish. This means that together, we focus on empowerment, responsibility, and accountability amidst making positive changes that are in line with the vision you have for your life.
My humanistic and solution-focused approach will help you get to a place of feeling understood and accepted while developing heightened emotional intuition so that you can begin to take control of your life in areas that once seemed unbalanced.
I have worked with a broad range of ages, ethnicities, and issues while using a unique blend of evidence-based practices to help individuals gain clarity in their lives, define goals and develop a game plan to start smashing roadblocks and making real progress toward their ideal lifestyle and emotional wellbeing.
​
Whether leveling up your confidence, building intimacy and closeness in relationships, achieving peak performance in your profession, or grabbing a hold of the everyday stressors in your life, we will design creative interventions specifically tailored to your goals.
Change can be difficult, but you do not have to go through it alone. Whether it is envisioning a goal for yourself, a life transition, a new or chronic mental health issue, I am here as a guide to welcome and encourage you to take the appropriate steps towards change and provide you support, validation and reassurance throughout the process. I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment as these are important for our therapeutic relationship and achievement towards your future growth.
​
I utilize a person-centered and holistic approach with the integration of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and art therapy to provide individualized therapy to you. I have experience working individually with children, adolescents, and adults with mental health concerns such as: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, life transitions, behavioral concerns, boundary development, relationship challenges, family dynamics, communication skills and more.
We will work together and go at your own pace to identify and understand your experience in life and develop goals to learn and implement effective coping skills while honing in on your strengths.
